Rathangan and District Credit Union Limited

Rathangan and District Credit Union Limited is a member-owned financial cooperative serving the Rathangan area and surrounding districts in Ireland. It is authorized and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, and eligible deposits are covered by the State Deposit Guarantee Scheme up to €100,000 per person per institution. Membership is based on a common bond, typically residence, work, or study within the defined area, and standard onboarding requires proof of identity, address, and PPSN under anti-money laundering rules. Core services generally include share-based savings and personal loans for purposes such as car purchase, home improvement, education, and general expenses; credit decisions are subject to underwriting, affordability assessment, and credit checks, with rates, terms, and maximum amounts set by product and policy. Savings dividends or interest, if offered, are discretionary and not guaranteed, and savings limits or lodgement restrictions may apply based on risk and capital considerations. Some Irish credit unions also provide current accounts with debit cards, SEPA payments, and online or mobile access; availability, fees, and transaction limits depend on local arrangements, and members should confirm specific features directly with the credit union. Governance is through a volunteer board elected by members, with surpluses applied in line with legislation and internal policies, and standard facilities may include direct debits, standing orders, electronic transfers, and insurance benefits associated with savings and loans, subject to eligibility and terms. Opening hours, product line-up, rates, and complaint procedures can change, so prospective and existing members should rely on the credit union’s official communications for current details.
